His eldest grandson was taken care of by Sister Zhang, but Tang Zangyue didn't know it. However, the wall demolition project in the backyard was finally completed and the construction was successfully carried out.
Carrying pebbles and dirt would crush a young man's waist, so Tang Zangyue refused to let Xiao Zhonglu and the others go up the mountain to carry them.
"It's time for you to grow up. Grandma doesn't want you to suffer from any diseases when you are old. I'll leave it at that. You uncle, don't worry about it. It's his fault."
Xiao Jamhuan, who was listening silently, said: "..." He could only listen and could not refute.
Tang Zangyue: "Aunt Liu is now starting a business in the town, and her family has money to make. Grandma would rather hire someone to carry it than let you come in person."
It was probably Tang Zangyue's determination that stopped the three of them from thinking, so they had to slow down the progress and build the courtyard wall.
Asking Tang Zangyue to spend money to hire someone? Overthinking it, she is someone who can save money and never spend half a penny.
In the middle of the night, under the pretense of going to the toilet, she sneaked up the back hill, and without even letting a sliver of sky follow her, she moved most of the dirt and pebbles into the space, walked back to the backyard empty-handed, put her things in the backyard, and went back to sleep.
The next day, Xiao Zhonglu and the others were shocked when they saw the dirt and pebbles piled up into a hill.
Tang Zangyue coughed twice and then whispered: "Grandma has been thinking about it for a long time. Since she can't burden you, and she also wants to avoid being a spy and invite people, she can only come in the middle of the night, which is just a surprise for you."
Xiao Zhongli then confronted Tang Zangyue, "Did Grandma ask Yixian Tian to do it?"
"How can I see it?"
"If you don't have the foundation of kung fu, you won't be able to transport so much dirt and gravel even if you spend one night."
Guessed half right.
Tang Zangyue smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Our brother Li is really smart."
Why build the yard first? Although the Xiao family has only four walls, air leakage from all sides, and the backyard is cut out. If the hut and bathroom are built first, it will be much easier to transport soil and stones, but it always gives people the feeling of being watched. The Xiao family would rather go around in a circle, which is troublesome
It is better to repair half of the courtyard wall than to build the latrine and bathroom first.
What's more, Tang Zangyue still had the weapon of space. He went up the mountain in the middle of the night and used the space to carry it, which saved a lot of trouble for the Xiao family.
Tang Zangyue went to town with Aunt Liu Xiao Yuenong during the day.
She was not in a hurry to hand over the business stall to the mother and daughter. The main reason was that Xiao Yuenong was too young and had little knowledge to respond to emergencies in a timely manner. She could not count on Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu is excellent at craftsmanship, but she is shy and cannot take on tasks.
Sure enough, on the third day of setting up a stall, I met a big employer.
The reason is that the widespread sales of kimchi have attracted the love of people in the town.
The town is so big, word of mouth spreads it from person to person, and then it reaches a merchant's house.
When the manager in charge of kitchen purchasing heard his servants talking about kimchi and radishes, he scoffed, "How delicious can a radish be?"
The servant hurriedly flattered a few words before saying: "You don't know, but the kimchi radish really tastes good. My family tried to research kimchi radish on their own and succeeded, but the taste is really not as good as the ones sold at small stalls.
, Anyway, my parents are eating kimchi and radish these days, and they can use less sour seeds when eating noodles.”
"Is it as magical as you said?"
"Don't tell me, I have some left over there, sir. I'll bring it to you. You can try it yourself?"
"Go ahead."
After a while, the waiter tasted it. It was sour, sweet and crunchy. It was indeed very appetizing and delicious, suitable for eating.
The manager nodded, "Don't say it yet, it's really good."
"Yeah, right."
"Where is the stall?"
The servant suggested a position to the manager, and the latter took the time to come to Tang Zangyue's stall.
The manager happened to hear Xiao Yuenong's childish voice and said to the guests: "Kimchi and radish are sold in three taels, three taels is worth two cents, six taels is four cents, nine taels is worth six cents and one tael will be given away. There are no pickles and cucumbers.
As a gift, which one do you want?"
This customer, like the previous customer, chose kimchi and radish without hesitation.
Wrap it in oil paper and add kimchi water inside. Finally, Xiao Yuenong said: "Next time, you can use your own bowl to put it in. The oil paper we folded ourselves will leak some kimchi water. Ladle out the kimchi water to stew.
Stewed meat also adds flavor."
When the guest heard this, his eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The manager came closer and said, "The kimchi water you have here can also be used to cook vegetables and stew meat?"
Xiao Yuenong glanced at the manager curiously and saw that this man was dressed differently from ordinary people, so he didn't know how to deal with it.
Xiao Yuenong's eyes finally fell on Tang Zangyue.
Tang Zangyue smiled slightly and said to Xiao Yuenong: "Go and help your aunt."
As soon as Xiao Yuenong ran away, Tang Zangyue looked at the manager, "What do you call this...?"
The manager saw that her hair was gray but there were not many wrinkles at the end of her eyes. He thought for a moment and then said, "Just call me Manager Luo."
"Guanshi Luo." Tang Zangyue thought about it and said, "Our kimchi water is indeed suitable for making stews and roasted meat. You can try it first."
Because the north is mostly dry land and has little rainfall, most of the food grown is wheat. It is also due to the climate, which is dry and dusty. People in the border areas mainly eat light food, and even when cooking vegetables and stews, they are rarely spicy, so there is less food in the south.
Some people will add Cornus officinalis to cooking, and eating spicy food can dispel dampness, but few people in the north use it.
The kimchi water will have a light spicy taste after a long time. If you eat it in small amounts, it will not hurt your throat. Moreover, when added to the stew, it will add a kimchi flavor and enhance the aroma.
The manager tasted it and nodded, "Not bad."
Tang Zangyue: "This kind of kimchi has only been marinated in water for a few days, and the flavor is not strong enough. If it is left for more time, the flavor will be stronger, and the cooking and stew will taste better.
In addition to kimchi water, our family also makes doenjang, but it takes a month to ferment and the cycle is long. It has not been sold yet. We will cooperate with restaurants in the town later. Once we find a good preservation method, we will sell it to the county.
It’s done.”
Only then did the manager's eyes fall squarely on Tang Zangyue.
Seeing that she was neither humble nor arrogant, and had a clear attitude, her frown instantly spread, and she smiled and said, "I just came to buy pickles, radishes and cucumbers today."
After saying so much, the other party didn't respond and obviously wanted to wait and see.
Tang Zangyue was not angry either, and said kindly to Cai: "How much are you going to buy, Mr. Luo?"
"How much can I get for ten pounds?"
Tang Zangyue smiled and said, "Two catties for free."
“Where’s the pickle water?”
"How much does Mr. Luo want?"
"I'll bring a jar to fill it up tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll ask my sister to prepare the quantity tomorrow and wait for Manager Luo to take care of the business."
I was supposed to give away one catty but instead gave away two catties. I was so generous because I was sure that this would be a big deal in the future.
After the business was concluded, she did not shy away from Xiao Yuenong. After seeing off Manager Luo, Tang Zangyue rubbed the ends of Xiao Yuenong's hair and said, "Did you listen to our exchange just now?"
Xiao Yuenong nodded and asked: "Why is grandma so sure that he can do long-term business?"
"Then how do you know that I believe he can do long-term business?"
"There are too many discounts." Xiao Yuenong pouted dissatisfiedly.
Tang Zangyue comforted him and said: "If you give up, you will gain. If a businessman only values immediate interests and does not consider long-term development, then his path will come to an end."
